Well we dont need to. Its already in there - its automatic? In the newthread template there is {$extrathreadfields} and that covers this template. Right?
Hmm I put this in my template - and it selects the text correctly. BUT - I have the else function in there - so in theory I will have to remake an entire newthreads template.
Why is that? Because I also use this field to make a little lightbox show....
I will work on it because
1) I really want it
2) I wanted to spruce up my newthreads template anyway
